(KAIR)--An arrest is made in connection with a 2018 Atchison County burglary.

At the time of the October crime, Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie told MSC News it was believed the break-in at the rural Atchison County home was focused specifically on guns. “It was forced entry,” Laurie said. “They made entry through one door, and possibly exited out of the front door. It was targeted theft, and they went directly for the guns and removed them. A few of them they didn't take with them.”

Arrested Saturday by the Atchison Police Department was 19-year-old Jonathan Hundley.

He was taken into custody on an Atchison County District Court warrant for burglary, theft of a firearm, theft, and criminal damage to property.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News Hundley was located around 4:30 Saturday afternoon by an officer patrolling Atchison’s River Road. Hundley was spotted near the north boat ramp and apprehended.

Following his arrest, Hundley was booked into the Atchison County Jail.

His bond is set at $20,000.

According to Laurie at the time of the burglary, investigators believed the Osage Road residence was targeted based on knowledge that the occupant owned guns.

Reported stolen were a shotgun, two .22 caliber rifles, and two air rifles.

The guns are valued at around $2,000, and have not yet been recovered.

Laurie said Monday there are additional suspects in the case.
